Exclamation NISMO Rear Spoiler - Need Advice!

I am thinking of putting the Nismo Aero Kit on my Z. The only thing I am concerned about (other than the bigger whole in my pocket that this Z is making) is rear view obstruction from the spoiler. I currently have the stock Aero kit on my car. Does anyone out there have the Nismo spoiler on their Z and can tell me if it obstructs alot of your rear view? If you have some pictures of the rear view with the spoiler on, I would really appreciate it... Thanx

OK....is just me or does the Nismo rear wing ( or any wing for the Z ) just look plain UGLY!!! I just think think that having any kind of rear wing / spoiler would ruin the lines of this beautiful car. Personally I would love to get a spoiler on my car but I have yet to come across one that I acutally like.

I like the NISMO spoiler. I think all of the other spoilers I have seen on this Z look atrocious. But the NISMO spoiler, in my opinion, adds a bit more "sporty" into this already sporty car. I am just concerned of my rear view, which as you all know is small enough to begin with.

I've got the NISMO spoiler on my car is it looks awesome. Yea, it takes away from the visibility, but not enough to be concerned about. And trust me, I've recieved LOTS of compliments on how bad *** it looks!

You are going have holes from your stock spoiler and it may be visible when you add the nismo spoiler.

I love everything about the kit except the ugly spoiler and rear bumper kit. Anyone ever done a diffferent rear bumper with the nismo kit?

Its just you to me the Z needs some sort of rear spoiler... the back is just too round HOWEVER I havent seen many I like, they all seem just stuck on because the cars back end is so round...

I bought my Nismo replica spoiler from Perf.nissan, it's actually called a techno spoiler made by VIS racing and it covers and actually reuses the existing holes.

We own a body shop. My dad has been painting ever since he was 17. (I, however, am a Computer Engineering major.) I don't know too much about that sort of body work, but he assures me that the wholes can be patched up so that you wont be able to tell the difference, all at the low low cost of... $0.00usd. We're the best body shop in town so as far as the wholes go, I am not concerned one bit. Like I said, the only thing that concerns me is the rear view obstruction, but since you all say it's not that evident, I think I will go ahead and buy the spoiler. I would def like to see a pic of the rear view w/ the spoiler on, if anyone has it...

If you mean spoiler instead of bumper then yes there are 4 holes but only 2 serve as bolt holes, the other 2 must be siliconed closed.
